That time of the year again. What will companies do to their sites this year? What fake games will be revealed? How will Discord servers annoy their users? Find out as we go through another exciting day of April Fools.

>What fake games
-Half-Life 3
-Deltarune: Chapter 2
-Team Fortress 3

Adult Swim has launched Adult Swim Jr. which is a babyfied version of various Adult Swim shows like Rick and Morty, ATHF, Superjail, Boondocks, Metalocalypse, etc.

4chan's April Fools theme is Canada. Report buttons are replaced with a rake. Pressing on it will give a message saying, "Are you sure you want to report this user for being Canadian? False reports may result in deportation." If banned, a message will say, "User was raked for this post." and will be sent to a quarantine board called /qb/ which is a Quebec board.

Alright, so this is what I came across for this year's April fools day stuff.
- Gamespot's Weapon Expert series had the guy review and talk about the splatoon ink gun
- Camila Cuevas made a video of Gaster slapping Betty for 4 minutes
- TheKknowley, famous for his Payday videos, did a video ranking the facial hair of the heisters
- FishPog, a Discord based around the meme FishPog, rebranded itself as DaBaby
- Mike Inel made a video for Nicole Waterson's side jobs. Extremely NSFW
- Adult Swim has all their cartoons rebranded as babies and rebranded itself as being kid-friendly
- Cheese Forever, a Youtuber all about Destiny exploits and glitches, made a video showing off how to make cheese
- HoloLiveEN rebranded themselves to being serious
- MCGamerCZ did a video talking about how he's making an Onlyfans
- Dragalia Lost is bringing back last years April Fools Day event
- Newgrounds isn't doing anything
- Nothing from Youtube either

Me, hope I wont have to use 4chan for the day.

It appears I've been undeported. Alright then.

KiwiFarms appears to have all the green outlines turned purple, all the profiles are now anime avatar, and the "Last seen" description on the user profile says "Last seen: Watching their favorite anime! (´∀`)"

By the way, have any archives picked up /qb/ yet?

Oh, and when you try to change your pfp is says "Nice try, [Username]-chan! But there's no escape! (`・ω・´)"

Volkswagen changed their name to Voltswagen and made a prominent journalist go absolutely bonkers.

Nathan Bomey, USAToday business reporter tweeted (unironically mind you)
"Dear Volkswagen: You lied to me. You lied to AP, CNBC, Reuters and various trade pubs. This was not a joke. It was deception. In case you hadn’t noticed, we have a misinformation problem in this country. Now you’re part of it. Why should anyone trust you again?"

Absolutely got ratio'd for it

Like clockwork the blue-check army came in and put up their fists up in solidarity. Tears were to be had. That joke was too cruel for these journos.

He then doubles down, and yesterday tweets:

"Volkswagen now says: "The many positive responses on social media showed that the campaign resonated with consumers. At the same time, we realize the announcement rollout upset some people and we are sorry about any confusion this has caused.""

The absolute state of American journalism folks.
From being embedded in warzones at the risk of their lives, to literally crying that a car company made an April fools joke.

Wtf did Donnie Boi do to them?

PCM has made it so you can only say "based" or "cringe". Users seethe and mods don't care. Absolutely based mods.

/qb/ filters:
Based = Sorry
Seethe = Sorry
Cope = Sorry
Dilate = Sorry
Anon = Buddy
Tranny = Hoser
Out = Oot
About = Aboot
House = Igloo
Football = Hockey
Coffee = Timmies
Ton = Tonne
Dollar = Loonie

There's also a wordfilter that adds ", eh?" to the end of your sentence but I'm not sure how it works. And there's a word that filters to "Syrup" but I'm not sure what it is.

Non-event filters:
Soy = Onions
Tbh = Desu

Feel free to add more.
Also, if anyone knows how to archive /qb/ please do, none of the other 4chan archives give a shit apparently.

And yeah, the ", eh?" filter happens when you end your sentence with a question mark, but not all the time, it's probably random.

My favourite things to look forward to in April Fool's are the silly nonsenses gacha games do.

Dokkan Battle has announced fake game modes to be added to the game, and then apologising the next day because the new mode couldn't be implemented, finishing off by giving us free cards related to the "cancelled" mode. 2019's was an 8-bit fighter that gave us 8-bit Goku and Vegeta cards, complete with 8-bit animation effects, 2020's was a racing game and had a card with Bulma on her bike-car-thing.

And now, we have this. It features a Gohan(Great Saiyaman) whose super attack animation is a first-person view of him shooting a ki ball.

The sad thing about April Fools' tomfoolery is that it's hard to top the previous years'.

In 2019, Senran Kagura New Link had a little event where the flat characters got huge badonkers, while everyone else got flattened. Their 2020's ramped up from that by giving one of those flat characters an adult body to go with the tiddies, and then making everyone else smaller on top of the flattened chests.

But now, in 2021, all they did was announce a fake series that's just the 1978 manga Cobra but with Senran Kagura characters, and release collab cards with costumes.

Cookie Run and Cookie Run Kingdom had an event themed around Sugar Gnomes who build levels and you end up going through an incomplete one in the former ending up in the devs own offices with real photographs.
Runescape (RS3) turned one of its major God Wars Dungeon bosses into a balloon to defeat.

Thats all I had April Fools wise not listed here that wasnt funny stuff from a variety of artists and content creators I follow.
